Highlighting the selected row in a Web-grid in MVC3

What do you mean by web-grid? Is it a 3rd party component? Some code would be helpful. With the current state of the question, I would say you can jquery to highlight the row. For ex. on a high level, if the edit button is w/in a cell, you can do something like this (not verified) $('.btnEdit').click(function(){ $(this).parent().parent().css('background-color','Green'); });
